How long people live and what they die of: life expectancy and healthy life expectancy, infant, child and maternal mortality, deaths from road traffic injuries, suicide, poisoning and air pollution. Estimates of WHO and the UN Population Division — they bring national data to a single definition, which is why they differ from the official statistics of individual countries.
